Headbolt Over Torqued

[curtis]

Guys-

Was doing a retorque on my head tonight and screwed up. Was using a new torque wrench and was missing the "click" (was very subtle on this wrench) as such I overtorqued one of the inner 10mm head bolts. Not sure how far, but I luckily didn't hear anything crack, pop, etc.

I backed it off right away and retorqued to the correct value. Everything else was done to spec.

Do you think my head gasket is ok?

In a word, yes.

Yes. No heat cycle on it, and you are going to be doing a re-tourqe. It'll be OK.
